Improved Onda correlations for mass transfer in packed towers

Abstract
A comprehensive database for VOC stripping in packed towers was gathered from 15 field and pilot-scale studies. This database is used to develop a new correlation based on the Onda model. The development of this new correlation addressed the shortcomings of the Onda correlation which were identified in previous studies. The average error in the new correlation was less than 26% for both the development and the validation data.
